Final

I am very grateful I was able to expand my knowledge of the worlds history I learned in this class. We covered in this course the 5 major eras of homosapiems being: Paleolithic, Neolithic, ancient, classical, and modern. Although I think it is great throughout time came the spread of civilizations, I sometimes wish we were still living like the people lived in the Paleolithic period. Gathering and hunting and sharing with others. We grew from gathering/ hunting in the Paleolithic era, expanding out of Africa to more agricultural communities in the Neolithic period. What an expansion I wonder how these people felt they came out of their comfort zones to more expansive territories. I learned in the ancient era people needed to compete for wealth, status, and power. We expanded into social structures such as civilizations and city states, and we began to trade and interact with different countries. I think it is so neat how people rode on camels through the desert to trade and earn income. The enlightenment was my favorite subject we covered. With the enlightenment came the power of people being able to do things on their own. And the spread of western thought and art. I believe the writing/ reading anylsis papers expanded my world view knowledge. It was really neat learning of the Paleolithic people and coming to terms they were the first to come to America. I did find these papers challenging, but did learn something From them.
